ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DEC C++ Class Run Time Libraries on OpenVMS
VAX V6.2.  This kit addresses the following problems:


Problems addressed in VAXCXXL01_062 kit

   o  When the Complex Library exp() function  detects  an  underflow
      error,  the  resulting  value  is  now  (0,0)  instead  of (+/-
      max-float, +/- max-float).


   o  The division routines within  the  Complex  Library  now  catch
      divide-by-zero errors instead of signalling them.


   o  The String extraction operator now takes  care  of  dynamically
      allocating the String to accommodate the input.


   o  When you open a file specifying ios::ate but  not  ios::app  to
      the  filebuf  open()function,  the  file is no longer opened in
      O_APPEND mode.  This incorrect behavior caused all data  to  be
      written  to the end of the file, regardless of the current file
      position.
